Pivot Table - Wrapping Text

G

Guest

In my Pivot Table, I have all the column headers formatted to "wrap text".
When I select new data to display in the pivot table, it removes the wrapping
on the column headers. I've deselected the AutoFormat Table option, but the
behavior continues.

Any way around this?

You may have to enable selection (From the Pivot toolbar, choose
PivotTable>Select, and click on Enable Selection)

Before formatting cells, instead of selecting the entire column, use the
selection feature to select the items in the description field. For
example, move the pointer to the top of a column in the pivot table
(just above the column's heading cell). When the black arrow appears
(like the one that appears when the pointer is over a column button),
click to select the column in the pivot table. Then apply the formatting.

If that doesn't work, you could record a macro as you refresh and
reformat the pivot table. Then, run the macro when you want to update.
